We're not big port drinkers, so last night when I realized that we still had a whole lot of expensive port left over from our fancy Valentine's dinner, I scrapped my original dinner plans, and made more of the amazing port syrup to drizzle over broiled chicken.

After prepping the syrup,I still had about a half a bottle of port left, so as a way to use more of it up, I added some to a pasta sauce, and it turned out really good! It gave it a slightly sweet, richer flavor, and was pretty dang good, if I do say so myself.

Here's what I did for the Port Pasta Sauce (I made this up as I went along, so the amounts are approximate):

Yum! Both dishes look really good! We are trying to stay away from carbs in our house but it's really hard. I've never cooked with port but a lot of my soup and risotto recipes call for dry white wine. I have a little four-pack of Sutter Homes white wine in my fridge just for cooking :)

Welcome

I have a deep love for shoes, anything with garlic on it, and all things DIY. Just a West Coast 30-something adjusting to life in the South with my husband and 3 kitties. To pay the bills I'm a marketing communications professional, but my true love is crafting and working on decor projects. And now that we are homeowners, I love taking on bigger renovation projects side-by-side with my husband, as we strive to make our new house a home.
